anghraineI did a bunch of stressful things, so now I have time to be petty!
I’m thinking about Faramir, as usual, and I just feel like people don’t appreciate that he has to stoop to kiss Éowyn’s forehead.
I mean!!! You don’t normally stoop to kiss the forehead of someone just a few inches shorter than you. Usually, they’d have to be much shorter. And Éowyn is a tall woman, even if she’s not as tall as most of the Riders. In all probability, Faramir is really, really tall—even for a Dúnadan.
Tolkien did say that Denethor is very tall and looks like an ancient Númenórean, and that Faramir takes after him, so it’s not really surprising, but—!
And I know I’ve talked about it before, but AND. AND Faramir and Éowyn’s hair mingles in the wind even though he has to stoop to reach her forehead! He must have really long (“raven”) hair, too! And on top of that, he has a “fair face” like Boromir’s.
It’s such a look and it’s just … so tragically underappreciated. ;_;
#i'm not saying that faramir is underappreciated mind you #but his aesthetic is!!! #hmm that's probably not fair—fandom is actually super into that aesthetic but only for elves #i'm just petty and want it for MY fave #ANYWAY
